Hosting a package manager repository on here

Hey there.
I’m just wondering if I’m able to turn off something that allows a browser/pkg manager to preview a file such as a txt file in the browser rather than forcing it to download? Please help.

Free hosting is meant for web hosting, not file hosting

While it is a type of file hosting, each web hosting provider has the right to limit what you can and can’t do with their services.

If you read the Terms of Service, which you are legally bound to, you would know that InfinityFree does not allow file hosting.
